Two-year-old Barney is a Black Lab and Basset Hound crossbreed known as a Basador. A friendly and amiable guy, he can get along well with children and other dogs, but could be a bit rambunctious for families with toddlers. Being born with strong hunting instincts, it’s wise to exercise caution with Barney around cats. He is a quick learner, but also a bit stubborn. Keep training sessions short and fun, just like he is! Barney will enjoy nice walks or active playtime each day and, of course, a lot of love and attention. He’s ready for a family and home where he can live out his life being all that he can be — fun

Unlike in humans, redheads are pretty common in the cat world. 5-month-old Rusty is a stereotypical marbled orange and white tabby teenager. This cat is a one-man band of entertainment. One minute he’ll be playing with a toy or jumping like a grasshopper, and the next he’ll be cuddled around your neck wanting to give kisses. Exuberantly playful now, staying true to his orange tabby genetics, he’ll be more a big softy and laid back to the point of laziness. Rest assured that no matter what, this charming ginger tabby will provide you with a lifetime of love and affection.

An exquisitely colored Calico with a moustache? Yes, and her name is Kaitlyn. She is a 2-year-old former stray kitty who sports a colored patchwork coat of ginger, satin, and ivory. She came to the shelter as a single mom with three kittens, all who were adopted, and she’s ready to start a new life as an independent lady. Being quite socialable and talkative, she is willing to share her new home with other cats or is just as content to be the only feline in the house. Whatever the case, she asks only that she gets plenty of attention, affection, and food. Share a few moments with Kaitlynn and you’ll find yourself falling deeply in love and wondering why it took you so long to find her.

Bright-eyed and bouncy, Miles is a 50 lb, one-year-old Hound mix who is eager to learn the skills of being a gentleman dog. He has been bounced from home-to-home and for much of his short life and has not known real family stability. With his charming “Petey-like” tan patch around one eye and wiggly and white body, Miles is a real looker. His perfect home would be with people who let him be a true member of the family, lounging on the couch, playing fetch in the yard, or enjoying family walks. Miles loves attention, playing, and fully expressing himself, which means being the happy goofball that he is. With some loving patience and effort, Miles is the perfect dog in the making.

Rhea is a beautiful dusky buff Tabby, with lemon yellow eyes, who was found abandoned and very pregnant. Soon after she arrived at the shelter she went to a foster home where she was able to raise her kittens in a safe and healthy environment. After her kittens were weaned, Rhea was eager to resume her single independent life. She enjoys affection, attention, and sweet pats on the head. Once Rhea sets her intention, it’s a done deal. If she wishes to play, take a stroll, or nap — she will. It’s that same “can do” spirit that helped her survive living in the streets and raising a family. She has set her sights to finding her forever home and wouldn’t settle for less than being a pet of the week.
